Calling all deal hunting geeks!

Anyone know of any sweet deals on 17+ inch screen laptops with decent processors?

You'll want to go into much more detail than that. What qualifies as a good deal for you? Why do you want a decent processor: are you looking for a gaming computer? That requires more than just a good processor. What do you mean by decent?

[Castaras]

With the amount of detail you've gone into, take a look at Mesh computers. They're a very good deal on most types of computers, imo.

I honestly dont know what more detail you want. A cheap laptop with a decent (T4500+) processor (**** amd). Really don't give a **** about video cards integrated is just fine. A price range of 400-600 works out also. I've researched around a lot already was just hoping to see if anyone else knew something. Guess not hahaha

you can try websites like redflagdeals, they basically gather information on current deals and post them in different section of their website.
If not look at newegg.com and maybe suscribe to their newsletters, they have alot of promotions, and some only show in the emails. They usually have good prices too.

[Trixie]

[shrug] that's decent processor according to you? That's the current bottom of the barrel, more like...

You know, if that are your requirements, just buy used 2-3 year old laptop, and you'll be fine.

Newegg? It's generally good to go to.

So, you care about nothing at all in this purchase other than price, screen size, and processor. Alright.

Your requirements are incredibly vague. Every single one of these computers has a sufficiently powerful processor, I believe. All 17+ inches. All roughly $500-$900. More specifics could help narrow it down, but if those are really your only requirements, then feel free to pick at random. You might end up with a Linux computer.

I could give you a longer list, but I only had about 10 minutes.
